Yin and Yang Taoist Code

Looking at Nalan Guangcheng, the little fat man asked: "So you can be considered a bitch?"

Despite Nalan Guangcheng's calmness, he choked hard at this sentence.

"Can I understand that you are scolding me?"

"Of course not!"

With his head shaking like a rattle, the little fat man said, "I'm talking about a mean person. I'm lazy and I missed a few words."

After laughing out loud, Nalan Guangcheng finally felt a little bit of Mu Qiyun's mood at that time.

"You don't need to be hostile to me, and you don't need to test me in other ways. My Nalan family is on good terms with the Mu family, but this matter has nothing to do with the Mu family. I was entrusted by your grandfather to arrange it. ”

With a chuckle, Li Chuyi said lightly: "I said I felt someone following me just now. It turned out to be someone you sent. Otherwise, you had arranged it as soon as I entered the door. I said Uncle Nalan, you just Aren’t you afraid that I might accidentally kill the person following me?”

"Not afraid." Nalan Guangcheng said without hesitation.

Li Chuyi raised his eyebrows: "Look down on me? Are you so confident in your people? If you can let me detect traces, the people you sent may not be some masters, right?"

"No, I'm not looking down on you. I said I'm not afraid because I didn't send anyone to follow you at all."

Seeing that Li Chuyi didn't believe it, Nalan Guangcheng smiled and said: "More than half of the restaurants and inns in the imperial capital belong to the Nalan family, and the rest are in the hands of the Zhao family and a few decent mid-level families. And these families are all closely related to my Nalan family. In other words, as long as you stay in the imperial capital, our Nalan family can talk to me at all. You, I have already sent someone to give you information. As long as you stay, I will get the news as soon as possible, and they will make arrangements according to my prior instructions. "

This time it was Li Chuyi who almost choked to death.

He finally saw what it means to be rich and wealthy today.

"In addition, I want to correct you. Our Mu family runs restaurants and inns, but most of them are arranged for small families who depend on us to take care of them. Only large restaurants like Xianlin Guild Hall are owned by our Nalan family. Manage it personally. In addition, our Nalan family's businesses are not just restaurants and inns, but also pawn shops, auction houses, exchanges, and even clothing shops, rouge and gouache shops, and even brothels in the imperial capital. We are all involved in it. We are a real merchant family, which is different from those small businessmen and hawkers outside. You have to understand that a family is not called a merchant family just because it is rich. It is also a business, and the difference is huge. "

Nalan Guangcheng spoke so calmly that Li Chuyi was speechless for several times.

Based on this standard, he doubted whether Hao Jiati would be the "small businessman" that the other party called him.

Thinking about it, the Hao family was often ridiculed as a nouveau riche in Mobei. In the highly hierarchical Dayan Dynasty, they were even more like "traffickers and pawns" who couldn't stand up to the stage.

"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

After clapping his hands, Nalan Guangcheng said with a smile: "You just said that sleeping on the street belongs to one of our families, which is also wrong. The streets in the imperial capital belong to the imperial court, and no one is allowed to interfere, including the Mu family. The same is true for the area under your jurisdiction. In other words, if you commit a crime, don't just run around on the street. Find a family property with enough weight and dig into it. Officials from the imperial court may not dare to break in and take away the person. You must ask for permission from the superiors. Of course, the official servants I am talking about are just ordinary official servants. It would be different if you offend the Supervision Department. The Emperor has appointed the Supervision Department with special privileges, except for the Mu family and others in the imperial capital. The Supervision Department has the right to enter any place outside the Zhenxi Palace to arrest criminals, so if you are targeted by people from the Supervision Department, you basically have no way to escape. However, this is for other people, and you naturally have no such concerns. You are the eldest prince, and you have the support of the Mu family. Even if Mr. Wen is here, he may not dare to touch you. The people in the Supervision Department will only target you if they are crazy. Li Chuyi, you are now the number one person in our imperial capital. Ah, you, this new star, really shocked a lot of people today, I guess the threshold of Xianlin Guild Hall will be broken by people starting tomorrow, haha!"

Without any joy, the little fat man stared and said, "I'm not the eldest prince, and I didn't recognize the imperial edict!"

"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. What's important is that our emperor gave you an imperial edict and appointed you as the eldest prince. Even if you don't admit it, you are still the eldest prince in the eyes of others. You didn't say that sentence in the imperial edict. Do you hear, 'For fear of being held hostage, I am sending this edict to prove myself'. This sentence is not for you, but for us. Who dares not to take you seriously? It’s not just the Mu family who has been offended, but he is also disobedient to the imperial court and Emperor Yan. Who can afford this crime? "

Li Chuyi was silent for a long time, and said irritably after a long time: "He just has no good intentions and is just trying to make me suffer! I came to him to ask for an explanation. He gave me the identity of the eldest prince in his spare time. Isn't that right?" Will I offend anyone? What will the former eldest prince think? "

Nalan Guangcheng was startled and asked in confusion: "You don't know?"

Li Chuyi was stunned: "What do you know?"

Looking at Li Chuyi strangely, Nalan Guangcheng waved to signal the waiter and the shopkeeper to leave, and then looked at Li Sinian and others with questioning eyes.

Li Chu understood it and waved his hand without hesitation: "We are one of our own, there is no need to avoid taboos!"

With a flash of his eyes, Nalan Guangcheng took a deep look at Li Chuyi, and finally nodded his head to stop being persistent.

After a pause, he whispered: "The Dayan Dynasty still has no prince, and the position of the eldest prince has always been vacant. Don't you know this?"

Startled for a moment, Li Chuyi's eyes slowly narrowed.

"You mean...?"

"That's right."

Nalan Guangcheng nodded.

"The position of the prince is related to the unification, so it is not surprising that it has been vacant so far. Just like the current emperor, the late emperor only established his identity as the prince on his deathbed. The tests and trade-offs involved did not happen in a day. It should take longer to do this, but the eldest prince is different. Emperor Yanling has designated the first prince as the second prince since he was established, and the subsequent princes and princesses have also been arranged in order, and no one has ever become the first prince. The head of the princes. At first we were puzzled. We all thought that the princes and princesses did not meet the requirements of Emperor Yanling, so no one became the eldest prince or eldest princess. It was not until the imperial edict came out today that we found out why the vacant seat was. Because Emperor Yanling has already chosen someone, and that person is you!"

"He's crazy?"

Li Chuyi was dumbfounded and pointed at himself: "Look at which of my hairs from head to toe looks like a prince?"

Nalan Guangcheng's eyelids twitched, he opened his mouth and did not speak directly, but sighed first.

"I know you don't reject etiquette, but this is the imperial capital after all. If you want to insult Emperor Yan, you'd better say less, especially outside. Emperor Yan protects you, and the Mu family also protects you. It's better to offend a gentleman than offend him. Little man, who knows if there are "loyal people" who are "eager to protect the Lord" and take risks. If you die, it will be a big deal and the murderer will be buried with you. Emperor Yan will be furious and the Mu family will be furious. Then Dayan's life will not be peaceful. I can’t tell you how bloody it is. Even if you don’t think about yourself, I would like to ask you to think about us, these ants, and don’t involve our lives.”

Li Chuyi frowned: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Nalan Guangcheng looked at him seriously: "What do you think?"

Li Chuyi was silent for a long time, then scratched his neck.

"Are you considered an ant or a fly?"

"Of course, it's just the bigger one."

The two looked at each other and laughed. With a joke, the suppressed atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Nalan Guangcheng said softly: "Actually, I shouldn't have said these words in the first place. Your grandpa should have said it to you. But you and the Mu family are in such trouble, and Uncle Shi is a For a person with a slightly rough personality, he doesn't care about trivial things, so he probably won't talk to you. I'll do it for you with a few words, just in case you suffer a loss without realizing it. It makes his old man sad.”

Smiling, Li Chuyi asked curiously: "Why do I feel that you are so interested in my grandpa? Is it because of the relationship between the Mu family and your Nalan family?"

Nalan Guangcheng smiled slightly: "There is this reason, but it is not the main reason. Putting aside the interest relationship, as far as Uncle Shi is concerned, I should be as filial to him as his biological father, because my father's life was his. Saved. Without him, my father would have fallen into hell a long time ago, let alone what the Nalan family and I would be like now. My father often reminds me that this kindness cannot be forgotten, and he asked me to treat Uncle Shi the same way on his behalf. In my heart, I am also grateful to his elders, including my daughter Mingyue. There is no news about you, and Uncle Shi has no way to relieve his depression, so he places his family affection on Mingyue, and Mingyue has a smart girl. Girl, that’s why Uncle Shi treats her so well.”

At this point, Nalan Guangcheng slightly handed over his hand: "My little girl was rude before, I hope I can bear with you. That child has no ill intentions, but is just naughty and restless. Sometimes even I get a headache from her troubles, little friend." Don’t misunderstand that she is malicious towards you!”

"What are you talking about? How could I care about this! It's not like I've never seen her with that kind of temper. You know that, Lu Heng, the head of Taixu Palace, right? His daughter Lu Shiyu is ten thousand times more difficult to deal with. How can I follow her? She is angry, don’t worry!”

The little fat man waved his hands indifferently and asked curiously: "Let's not talk about this. You just said that your father was also rescued by my grandfather. How did I find out that the old man could save people every two days? There is a man in Mobei Do you know Mu Qingqiu? It is said that he also rescued him and adopted him as his adopted son. Who is this old man? Why is the head of the Mu family so free, just hanging out when he has nothing to do? "

Shaking his head, Nalan Guangcheng sighed: "You are living outside, so you don't know many things. Your grandfather is actually a very righteous person. In many cases, he is not like the head of a rich family like the Mu family. He was more like a wandering warrior who traveled all over the world. Before he became the head of the family, his favorite thing was to travel around the world. It is said that when the then head of the family wanted to entrust him with the position of the head of the family, he was unwilling to do so. It was only after a group of clan elders persuaded me that I accepted it. I know what you are talking about about Mu Qingqiu. We are not only old acquaintances, but also good brothers. I met him once when I went to Mobei many years ago. Yan Huan is very enthusiastic, but unfortunately I have no time to spare after my father abdicated and became the head of the Nalan family. It has been more than a hundred years since I saw him. I miss him when I think about it occasionally, and I don’t know when we can get together again. "

After speaking and waving his hands, Nalan Guangcheng said: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business. In fact, in addition to coming here today for Uncle Shi, Nalan also has something to ask for!"

Looking at the other party's gloomy eyes, Li Chu suddenly became furious. He jumped up and waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle, we have something to talk about. If you are here to mediate with me like my old man, then forget it. I have Wife’s man!”

Nalan Guangcheng didn't expect him to be so direct and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be afraid. Although it is a good choice for my little girl to marry you, I am an open-minded person and never interfere in my children's marriage. You don't need to worry."

The little fat man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the other party continue: "But what I'm asking for today is indeed related to my little girl."

Halfway through sitting down, Li Chuyi stiffened his neck and asked, "What do you mean?"

Narrowing his eyes, Nalan Guangcheng said in a faint tone: "Do you know this person, King Yuwen Taihao of Zhenxi?"
